20" Aluminum 12mm Plate Connect / Convert Conical F34 F44 Bolt 20.5" 16" Truss

Overview

Introducing the ProX XT-BP2012F34, a 20" aluminum conversion plate built to solve one of the most common headaches on a truss job: getting two different truss systems to talk to each other. Crews rarely get to work with one system all night. You load in with conical F34, the venue already has F44 hanging, and something has to bridge the two. This 12mm plate does that job. It is one solid piece of aluminum drilled to connect and convert between conical F34, F44, and bolt style truss, so you can transition systems, cap a run, or set a tower on the deck without improvising. For rental houses, production companies, and integrators, that means one part number covers a task that used to take a pile of loose hardware and a lot of guessing.

Solid 12mm Aluminum Plate The plate is machined from a single sheet of aluminum at a full 12mm thickness, which is just under 1/2". That is a meaningful step up from the thinner 6mm and 8mm plates used for lighter duty work. Thickness matters here because a conversion plate sits at the point where load transfers from one truss profile to another, and any flex in that connection shows up as movement further up the structure. The 12mm section keeps the joint flat and stable. Aluminum also keeps the weight manageable for a plate this size, so one tech can carry it, position it, and bolt it down without a second set of hands.

20" Working Surface At 20", the plate gives you enough real estate to land multiple bolt patterns on the same piece of stock. That extra surface is what makes the conversion possible in the first place. Smaller plates only have room for one hole pattern. This one has the footprint to host several, which is why it can serve as a shared meeting point between truss types instead of being locked to a single system.

Smooth Rounded Edges Every edge is finished smooth and rounded. This is a detail crews notice at 2am during load out. A raw cut aluminum edge on a plate this thick will slice a hand, chew through a case liner, and tear up a truck pack. Rounded edges also mean the plate slides against gear and sits against a truck wall without leaving gouges behind. It protects the people handling it and the equipment around it.

Bolt Patterns for 20.5" and 16" Spacing The plate is laid out with the 20.5" and 16" bolt patterns called out in the model designation. Having both on one plate is what turns a base plate into a conversion plate. You are not adapting with shims or drilling on site. The holes are already there, positioned and finished, so the transition is a bolt up job.

Built for F34 Conical Truss The primary pattern is set for F34 conical truss segments, the 12" square profile that carries most of the touring, corporate, and mobile production work in North America. If your inventory is built on F34, this plate drops straight into what you already own.

Converts to F44 and Bolt Style Truss Beyond F34, the plate is drilled to connect and convert to F44 and bolt style truss. That is the real value. Mixed inventory is normal. Venues have their own stock. Subrented truss shows up in a different profile than what you brought. Instead of turning down a job or renting a full second system, you put this plate at the transition point and keep working.

Use It on Top or on the Ground A plate like this earns its keep in more than one position. Set it on the deck as a base for a vertical tower and it spreads the load across a wider footprint than the truss alone. Run it at the top of a section and it becomes a mounting surface or a transition to a different profile above. Same part, different orientation, depending on what the plot calls for.

Ships by Parcel Despite the size and thickness, the plate is rated to ship by standard parcel service rather than freight. That keeps shipping cost and lead time down for shops ordering one or two, and it means you can get a replacement or an add on in your hands quickly when a job calls for it.
